Spare Parts is written by Terrence Marks and drawn
his wife, Isabel Marks. Back in 1999, he started a comic called Unlike
Minerva and was looking for an artist. A few months later, she found
him.

We started talking online and, well, neither of
us are quite sure what happened, but we're both glad that it did.
We got married in December of 2002. Isabel draws Namir Deiter and
a few other comics. Terrence runs The Nice. They also color
Kevin & Kell.

Terrence says:
After Unlike Minerva ended, I sat down, relaxed,
and started working on a few other comics. I wanted something lighthearted
and fun. This is how it came out. In my spare time, yes, I
do work tech support.

Despite having a character named Minerva, there's
no connection between the two comics.
